A West New York man was nearly run over and then shot in the leg in the aftermath of a fight in which he said he was not involved Sunday, officials said.

The incident occurred at the Heights Plaza on Summit Avenue in the Jersey City Heights, officials said.

The 20-year-old victim said he was in an eatery at 9:33 p.m. when a fight broke out in the parking lot. As he left the restaurant, those involved, driving a grey Honda, tried to run him over while they fled, a report says.

The victim said he walked to a grocery store on Summit Avenue, and as he left the store, the grey Honda stopped beside him on Summit Avenue and a rear seat passenger shot him in the right leg, the report says.

The West New York man was taken to the Jersey City Medical Center for treatment, the report says.
